Koudougou: The interim Governor of the Center-West region, Adama Jean Yves B©r©, relaying the message of the President of Faso, urged Wednesday in Koudougou to maintain order and discipline on the occasion of the launch of the 2nd edition of the National Days of Patriotic Commitment and Citizen Participation (JEPPC), noted the AIB.
According to Burkina Information Agency, the theme of the day is "For order and discipline: I commit myself." The Forces vives of the Centre-West region, mobilized in large numbers this Wednesday morning at the Koudougou governorate square, remained attentive for a few minutes as the interim governor, Adama Jean Yves B©r©, delivered the message from the President of Faso.
Through this speech, the Burkinabe were urged to a radical change of behavior to consolidate the achievements of the revolution. While commending the patriotic efforts of citizens, particularly their contribution to the reconquest of the territory and to the patriotic support fund, the Head of State deplored the breaches of order and discipline. He criticized those who flout the rules, disregard the highway code, neglect their duty hours, and engage in fraud and corruption.
The President emphasized that the revolution can only be effectively carried out in order and discipline, stressing that these values are essential for development based on national resources. He called for a radical break with behaviors that harm the country and stressed the need for a change in mentality, collective awareness, and a desire for profound transformation.
Public officials were urged to use state property responsibly and to rigorously manage public funds, with the President warning that any wasted funds constitute a criminal act. The Head of State paid tribute to the fighting forces, saluting their patriotic commitment and exemplary discipline, which made it possible to recapture large swathes of the country. He encouraged them to persevere on this path, recalling that "nothing solid can be built in disorder."
In conclusion, the President invited every Burkinabe to adopt daily actions that demonstrate their discipline and sense of order, hoping to see Burkina Faso become a model of responsible citizenship, integrity, and professionalism. The JEPPC will take place from March 26 to April 9, 2025, providing a platform to strengthen patriotic commitment and civic participation in Burkina Faso. In the Centre-West region, the week will include activities such as conferences in schools and workplaces, and a day of civic action on sanitation at the Koudougou regional hospital center and in each commune in the region.
